Prevention & Pest Control Against Termites

Termites, also known as white ants, are a common sight in Australia. Once they infest a home, termites can rapidly cause a considerable amount of damage, making it vital to call your reliable Smeaton Grange termite prevention provider.

Removing & Managing Termites

Each situation is unique, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. There are two strategies utilised are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and extermination the termite colony entirely by baiting. For more information on what these treatments cost, give us a call today.

Chemical treatments are a more traditional strategy to eliminate termites in Smeaton Grange homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has distinct benefits which should not be ignored.

It is vital to have the termite situation examined by a professional bug exterminator to evaluate the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided. So they provide excellent protection in treated areas. However, if not all locations can be reached, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can identify those gaps and gain access through them once again.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as 5 years and is the most widely used chemical repellent currently available.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus die after exposure to them. In addition, termites can pass the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

As termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas that are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix instead of the timber that they have been infesting until recently. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be eliminated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a home will make it difficult to create effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting
